Today's hexagonal flower box comes from the wonderful Cricut Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge. This was a really easy box to put together and the flowers themselves actually hold the whole thing together so you really don't need to even glue.

I cut the box at 9.375" to get the largest box I could. It comes with score lines to help you figure out how to make the folds. Also, the Cricut Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge comes with a separate booklet showing how to make all the boxes on the cartridge (bonus!). There is plenty of room inside for things like kisses or starburst candies. I chose to cut two flowers and then offset them.

Now, I used one of the stamp sets that come with the Cricut Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge to make the "hip-hip-hooray" sign. The stamp set tells you exactly where the banner cut is on the cartridge and what size to cut it at. What could be easier? No more fussy cutting!

Oh my goodness what a great little box I love it and you are right what could be easier I mean everythings with the kit...I can't to make it.Thanks for finding it & making it as just because I own it doesn't mean I realize everything on it. That's what makes everything you guys do with it extra~~extra special.

Love the box, the only way it could be easier is of someone made it for you. I really like the idea that it comes together so easily. I see a lot of them in my future for the holidays. You really rock!!

That box is so cute! We are not doing anything super-special for the holiday weekend, just enjoying time with family and friends before the school year starts again (my Fiance and I are both teachers).

The box is very pretty. As of right now I don't have plans for Labor Day. I hope to see my grandkids. I would love to win the Teresa Collins Chic and Scary Cartridge!what a great prize. THanks for the chance.bgalyean2011(at)aol(dot)com

Cute little box. Labor Day weekend I will be celebrating my mom's 50 th and my nieces 3rd Birthday. It should be a lot of fun since I am making all the decorations for my moms. I love this cartridge it would be so fun to use for Holloween, since this years will be extra special. It will be my daughters 1st Holloween. Hope I win, thanks for all the inspiration and fun chances to win.

No plans for Labor Day weekend ~ my hubby has to work all day Saturday, and we'll probably just relax and grill out on Sunday and Monday.Love the new Artiste cartridge!!! I just got time to play with mine for the first time last night. Cut a bunch of banners, doilies, etc. and stamped them with the coordinating stamps. Love it!!!

Sorry-my name didn't post in my last comment. I am headed to the lake this weekend and planning to work on my 1 year old daughter's Halloween costume, She is going to be a scarecrow and I was thinking how cute I can decorate her stroller with this cartridge! The crows would be adorable!

This cartridge has outdone Close to My Hearts last cartridge. I love this every bit or more than Art Philosophy. I think this flower would even be great without the box on a scrap page!!Thanx for the chance at winning!

Adorable box. Just got TBBM2 and I am having a great time making boxes, but nothing on there as cute as this one! Hmm, had a known there was such cute ones on there I may have gotten that instead. I see a new cartridge in my future!

Looks like I am not having a fun Labor Day weekend as I have to work, but hope everyone else has a great one!

OMG I love the flower box. I just got the Cricut Expression 2 for my birthday so I have finally been able to use my sweet tooth cartridge and make some cute boxes. I love the halloween cartridge you are giving away. It's my fav holiday. So...you want to know what I'm doing for the Labor Day Holiday? Well, my newly married son and his wife are moving back in with us!!!!!! Yay me. Yes, that is sarcasm. LOL. There goes my craft room.

Labor Day weekend here in Columbus, Ohio will consist of OSU football, BBQ and being with friends. Can't get any better than that!! I have been wanting this cart for a while but haven't seen it in the stores! Thanks for the chance to win!

Great box. I love the 3D projects the most! Our family is planning on going to our cabin. The weather should be perfect, and we are all looking forward to campfires and marshmellows over the holiday. And I would love a chance to win anything by Teresa C. Thanks.

I love the box! Such pretty colors too! Labor Day Weekend will find me in my craft room. I am going to start on some fall themed cards, work on my scrapbook and finish a loom beaded bracelet that I am working on. I might leave once in a while to eat, sleep and use the restroom but the majority of the time i will be CRAFTING!

Great Box! We are planning on working around the house and having a few cookouts with family and friends, since it won't be in the high 90's or 100's this weekend and we can finally enjoy our patio. Thanks for a great giveaway!

That flower box is wonderful and love the colors you used. For Labor Day weekend, I plan on closeting myself in my room to get caught up on cards I need to make and I am so looking forward to it!! DH will be working so it's a couple of days all to myself. Wahoo!!

OMGoodness I have been having SO much fun with the Artiste cartridge and now I see this awesome Halloween one! My plans for this upcoming weekend include taking a break from my classes (I went back to college to get my Bachelors in Science) and spend the weekend SCRAPBOOKING and CRAFTING!!! Woo hoo!!! Would LOVE to win the cartridge!

I'm in MO and my fiance is in IA and we are getting married in 11 days. Today is my birthday and as I was walking out the door to go to work, he pulled up, roses in hand. He left at 3am to get here. He handed me a gift and guess what? It was the Artiste cartridge bundle! OMgosh! It is amazing! I'm headed to IA this weekend to celebrate the holiday w/ my Sweetie!

What a very cute idea... the little box would be wonderful for party favors at a wedding reception or baby shower or gosh the possibilities are endless.Can't wait to see the Teresa Collins Chic & Scary Cartridge.Have a wonderful Holiday Weekend.

Celebrate my daughter's birthday at the Annual Greek Festival. She was born on Labor Day (ha) The Artiste cartridge is at the top of my list but the Halloween cartridge would be so much fun. Thanks for the chance to win.

Unfortunately, my husband just had knee surgery so we won't be going far for the Labor Day weekend. Perhaps I'll have lots of extra time in my craft room. Yay! Would love to try my hand at some 3D items like the adorable little flower box in today's post. TFS

Beautiful box. For Labour Day I plan on sleeping fro the whole 24 hours. We just got back from Hawaii...awesome trip, but I'm from Ontario Canada...6 hour time change plus add in about 10.5 hours of flying and 6 or so waiting in airports. 5 days later...still suffering from jet lag I drive with my hubby to drop my daughter off at university...a 17 hour drive. We're here fro 3 days then driving home to hopefully lie unconscious in bed. Lee-Ann :)

Cute box. I like the chic and scary cart and hope to win. We have the Shrimp and Petroleum Festival here in town every Labor Day. Last year Tropical Storm Lee soaked us and this year Hurricane Isaac has postponed it one day. Hopefully damage won't be too bad. Wind is really blowing outside right now. :/

Really cute box! Don' have enough money yet for the cart, but I'm really loving your projects. TFSProbably planning on tackling all those outside projects that just didn't get done this Summer and maybe going to the Canfield Ohio fair for a day in there somewhere too. Got to have some fun before Summer ends right? :)Beth Anne in PAwoody42997 at aol dot com
